UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

LEANDER P. BARNES, on OREANA, ILLINoIs,

BELT-REEL FQR THRASHING-MACHINES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 292,530, dated Januaty 29, 18(4.

Application filed October 8,1983. (So model.)

- To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, LEANDER P. BARNES, a

resident of the county of Macon and State of Illinois, (postoffice Oreana,) have invented hereinafter described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in Which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of my device, and Fig. 2 a side elevation of the same in position under the cylinder-pulley of the separator.

v a is the reel-drum, provided with ratchet b, pawl c, spring-catch d, and hinged clamp e.

A is the frame, which may be made in Va rious forms and attached to the separator in any suitable manner.

A is a portion of the frame that furnishes a support for horizontal roller f and vertical rollers g g. y

c is a swinging bar, which is used to lock the belt a after the same has been wound up.

h is the crank by which the winding is effected.

m is the cylinder-pulley of the separator.

The operation consists in slipping the end of the belt over clamp c, which is then secured by being pressed under catch d. The drum a is then revolved by crank h, while the belt is drawn over roller f and guided by rollers g When the winding is completed, the lock is effected by passing bar i through the loop in the end of the belt and winding said belt as tightly as possible. The ratchet b prevents back motion, and bar 1' prevents forward motion in the reel. The'lock may also be effected by swinging bar iaround against the belt," as indicated in the drawings, catch 0 assisting in making the position permanent. To unwind the belt, pawlc is first disconnected from ratchet b.

As before stated, the reel-frame is attached to the side of the thrasher in convenient proximity to the cylinder-pulley, and this attachment will necessarily vary in differently-constructed separators.

I claim 1. The combination,in abelt-reel for thrashing-machines, of frame A, drum a, clamp e, catch 01, ratchet b, and pawl o, as and for. the purpose set forth.

2. The combination of frame A, reel a, clamp e, and rollers fand g g, as and for the purpose set forth.

3. The combination, with frame A, reel a,

clamp e, and ratchet and pawl b 0, of lockbar i, as and for the purposes set forth.

LEANDER I. BARNES.
